Official

«Any law can be endlessly amended but the truths of life are not connected with the flaws of the law», said NA President Tigran Torosyan during the meeting with head of the OSCE Yerevan office Vladimir Pryakhin and Ambassador Miklosh Harashti, OSCE representative on the issues of freedom of information.

According to him, we must first clear out the mission of the Mass Media, «The overwhelming majority of the Mass Media see themselves as the reflection of the role of the parties – either oppositional or pro-governmental. But the Mass Media must represent the events to the society impartially. They must be free and unbiased, and the solution of this problem is connected with the realization of the multi-party system and the civic society», Tigran Torosyan said.

During the meeting issues about the laws and drafts concerning the Mass Media field were discussed. According to the OSCE and PACE experts, the laws regulating the field are compliant with the international standards.
